ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 28 February 1970
Villa are beaten by top four and promotion chasing side QPR despite scoring twice at Loftus Road.
The result leaves Villa three points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table but scarcely reflects the pressure Villa had placed the promotion hopefuls under for the majority of the match as they continued their improvement under Vic Crowe’s leadership.
Vic Crowe's Villa lose for the third time under his stewardship to record one win, two draws and three defeats in his six games and make it five wins, eleven draws and sixteen defeats in thirty two division two matches this season.
